I am writing to thank you for all of your info on modelling the twenties. I currently model the thirties (Model Railroader, May 2016, A Steam Era Switching Layout) but think I will backdate to the twenties. I love the older rolling stock and the greater variety back then. My roster is currently pretty heavy in Accurail pre-36′ boxcar kits, but I am trying to update – err, I mean backdate it. the new Accurail 36′ kits are a welcome addition but I am also trying some scratchbuilding – more fun. But I am still desperate to find more info and resources about modelling the ’20s. Any additional sources for modeling this era you or your readers can give me would be greatly appreciated. thanks again for your blog. I just discovered it but I will eagerly follow it!

After getting them in place begin replacing some ties with pc board ties till you get them all in place, say three ties each side of the gap. When soldered the tracks will stay in the curve you previously set and in gauge. Make sure you gap the pc board ties so you do not cause a short. Many folks do this over lift bridges etc so the can maintain alignment.
